Interesting. I was just there.. on South Georgia back in November. One of the highest concentrations of marine mammals and seabirds in the world. Hopefully it won't have too much of an adverse impact if and when it hits.

The UK is responsible for something like a third of the global albatross population and a good whack of its penguins.

*A* solution, certainly.

You'd enjoy Richard's short story about towing icebergs, Jack. Not that it would actually be very useful in this situation!!

It was the occupation of South Georgia by Argentina that was the first indication of the Falklands War.
